Hive status: Raising a new queen (I hope)
Hive origin: New Nuc in August 2012
Queen type: Raised in 2012 from eggs from overwintered Hive #4 (Italian from CA package)
Significant events/observations:
8/11/12: Nuc created from 3 frames from Hive #4 (eggs, brood, food)
8/25/12: Nuc died and was robbed out. Moved frame with approx. 10 queen cells on it from Hive #6 over with bees and brood. Some of the cells were a tad smushed, so hopefully one healthy queen emerges. This nuc should have a head start on the N5 and N7, which just received eggs. Added entrance reducer to prevent robbing.
9/29/12: Nuc was empty and robbed out.
